Black Christmas
Directed by Bob Clark
During a festive Yuletide party, a group of sorority sisters receive a creepy call from someone who claims he’s going to kill them all. The girls soon realize the threats were serious, when one by one, they each fall prey to the mysterious maniac. After directing two relatively ignored horror flicks which later became cult classics (CHILDREN SHOULDN’T PLAY WITH DEAD THINGS & DEATHDREAM), a Christmas miracle made Bob Clark’s 1974 classic a hit. A huge influence on John Carpenter’s HALLOWEEN, BLACK CHRISTMAS is frequently credited with helping spawn the slasher subgenre.
This horror classic about a killer stalking sorority girls on Xmas helped spawn the slasher genre.
Cast: Olivia Hussey, Keir Dullea, Margot Kidder

ITS PEAK
masterpiece. brilliant cinematography, intriguing story, thoughtful sound design.
The perfect way to kick off the Christmas season! I watch this every year and it truly just keeps getting better. I really like how unsettling and unhinged our killer is in this film.
The one that started it all! Classic.
A seasonal classic! I love this movie more every winter that I watch it. Barb is so funny. I always want to copy the holiday decor.
